We Gotta Get Out Of This Place Lyrics

Mann/Weil

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin tryin tryin
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due

Watch my daddy in bed and tired
Watch his hair been turning grey yeah
He's been working and slavin his life away
Oh yes I know

(yeah)
He's been working so hard
(yeah)
Well I been workin hard too yeah
(yeah)
Every night and day yeah yeah yeah

We've gotta get outta this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We've gotta get outta this place
Cause girl there's a better life for me and you
For me and you and you and you

Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due

Watch my daddy in bed and tired
Watch his hair been turnin grey yeah
He's been working and slavin his life away
Oh yes I know (life away life away)

(yeah)
He's been working so hard
(yeah)
Well I been workin hard too yeah
(yeah)
Every night and day yeah yeah yeah

We've gotta get outta this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We've gotta get outta this place
Cause girl there's a better life for me and you
For me and you and you and you

We've gotta get outta this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We've gotta get outta this place
Cause girl there's a better life for me and you
For me and you and you and you
For me and you and you and you
For me and you and you and you
